DRK hewer portepee

[Ullergaard]

Hello forum!

I Once Saw a drk hewer presented by Adrian Stevenson
And on it he had a beautifull repro portepee...

I been Looking High and low to find one, but no luck...
So maybe someone knows where to get such a portepee?

Only Saw one original for sale long time ago..

Best regards

I have had no luck either acquiring a repro, I have seen 3 or 4 real ones for sale in the past year all around 300 bucks, maybe Ade makes them?? LOL

Likely, they were not worn as they would get in the way of the work they preformed. I have never bought or seen one attached to a veteran acquired hewer. That would be a sizeable number.

I bought mine from a show many many, years ago now.

I think it originally came from Tom Johnson in the USA.

Cheers, Ade.

I doubt they ever did wear a Portepee or Troddel, not with the dagger nor hewer.
No uniform-plate from the German Red Cross does include them.
In none of the uniform-regulations for the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz it was
either mentioned and if one ever was indeed worn/authorized it would have had
the color red interwoven/included. This red was also visible with the aiguillette and
also the Auszeichnungs-Tresse had red. A brocade was not included in any
of the uniform-regulations!

So i just followed mr. Wilhelm Saris direction to go with the
White and red colours.. And found this beautifull portepee
In germany.. I know it is not correct in any Way but for a display it looks
Nice on the hewer! And who knows maybe starting a new
Trend!!
